CESC is a community based non-profit organization that provides energy and building improvement services in Bay Area communities, in partnership with local governments, other community based organizations, and businesses.

CESC is a 501(c)(3) community-based organization that has delivered energy, environmental, and home repair services to Bay Area residents since 1986. Originally created by the City of Berkeley, the City Council made CESC independent in July 2008. Our services include: energy efficiency audits and installations, project management for lighting and refrigeration retrofits, housing repairs and rehabilitation, solar technical and informational services, and improvements to residences designed to eliminate asthma triggers.

CESC is a member of East Bay Energy Watch and Marin Energy Watch, several coalitions of local governments, CBOs, and PG&E. These coalitions provide strategic energy and environmental services that reduce carbon emissions and promote resource conservation. CESC coordinates its efforts in local communities with organizations such as: Rebuilding Together, the Center for Independent Living, Rising Sun Energy Services, and the East Bay’s Green Corridor.
